    Does being a Psychopath make someone a better fighter?

    Edwin Valero, and Ike Ibeabuchi might be examples?

    I am an animal lover. If someone's family comes from such one that kills dogs for their table food then that family to me is psychopathic and honestly quite disturbing.

    Was Valero always a psycho, or did fighting with a ****ed up brain after his accident cause him to go that way? I know the last year of his life was ****ed up, and he had major issues.. but before that?

    Ike was always pretty ****ed up from what I've heard.

    I wouldnt say he had the nutter style of a phsyco , he was composed in the ring and could probably impose a UD on any middleweight in history.
